A celebration of nature, Flower Philosophy presents a selection of beautiful arrangements designed to free readers from the pressures of perfection and instead encourage creative freedom, intuition and original results. Find out how to listen and learn from nature to create something truly original with 25 combinations of stems and foliage.

Arranged by season, Anna Potter guides you through the process of creating your own wreathes, bouquets and installations, all using flowers that can be bought, found and foraged from your neighbourhood. Free yourself from a prescriptive, one-size-fits-all approach and let each unique bloom inspire you with this refreshingly honest and liberating florist's guide. With information on colour, arranging and pairings, along with a floral thesaurus identifying favourites and often-forgotten flowers, this book provides the basic foundations to pick, choose and assemble with unlimited possibilities.

Accompanied by stunning photography from India Hobson and inspired by poetry and Anna's unique musings, discover a whole new perspective on flower arranging.

Anna Potter is the florist behind the flower shop Swallows and Damsons, based in Sheffield and popular on Instagram (swallowsanddamsons). Her style of arranging has a luxe and wild feel that uses containers of all sorts and moves beyond the confines of blooms in her decoration - incorporating foliage, fruit and vegetables, sea shells and most things that grow out of the ground. India Hobson is a UK based editorial, lifestyle and still life photographer, and one half of Haarkon. Haarkon published their first book, Glasshouse Greenhouse, in 2018. India has enjoyed a creative partnership with Swallows & Damsons for a number of years, working with Anna Potter to develop their signature style.
